      Our volunteers are sometimes leaving spaces before or after the e-mail addresses. This creates an ‘invalid’ email error, but when the form reloads, the e-mail seems to be trimmed. Can the php ‘trim’ be done before the validation?

      My form doesn’t use trim on those POST values when displayed, but it does use the proper WordPress sanitizing function of esc_attr for POSTed input values, which does several santization functions which must also trim extra white space as well.

      However, your idea of trimming before validating that’s it’s a valid email is a good one. Should probably trim all posted values before validating, just to avoid some additional frustration.

      I also should have mentioned that my evaluations were done for an authenticated user. When the failed submission reloaded for me, the spaces were gone. The authentication may have affected the way the e-mail address was reloaded upon a failed submission. (I added spaces based on reports from some volunteers that they could not see a problem in the e-mail address that they were trying to submit, so it occurred to me to check spaces.)
